Our September 2013 Kenya Safari Spectacular tour had all the usual great mammals and birds, including Lion, Leopard, and Cheetah, some great close encounters with African Elephant and the rarely seen Striped Hyaena; birds varied from Kori Bustard and Southern Ground-Hornbill on the plains, to Jackson's Francolin and Abyssinian Ground-Thrush in the mountains, a wealth of waterbirds on the lakes, Chestnut Wattle-eye, Papyrus Gonolek, and Orange-tufted Sunbird in the west, and localized species like Sokoke Scops-Owl, Green Tinkerbird, and Chestnut-fronted Helmetshrike at the coast. Add to this a wealth of colourful turacos, kingfishers, bee-eaters, barbets, and sunbirds and you have the makings of a really great tour. What was special about this safari however, was the group -- traveling with with just six participants in one vehicle, together with yours truly and John (our expert driver) is surely the best way to see East Africa!
As always, we began in Nairobi and headed north to Mt. Kenya and Samburu. Although only a few hours apart, these areas have totally different habitats and of course birds; the mountain forests and grasslands hold Hartlaub's Turaco, Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater, Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, Tropical Boubou, Mountain Yellow-Warbler, Ruppell's Robin-Chat, Golden-winged Sunbird, and Abyssinian Crimsonwing. While the arid lower country at Samburu is home to Vulturine Guineafowl, Bateleur, Black-faced Sandgrouse, White-headed Mousebird, Eastern Yellow-billed Hornbill, Pygmy Batis, Rosy-patched Bushshrike, Yellow-vented Eremomela, and Golden-breasted Starling. The mammals vary too, with Sykes Monkey, Tree Hyrax, and Bushbuck being typical of the highlands, while Grevy's Zebra, Reticulated Giraffe, Greater Kudu, Gerenuk, and Beisa Oryx are more suited to the drier low country.
In the Great Rift Valley, Lakes Baringo and Nakuru were at record high levels, with the numbers and variety of birds like never before; Nakuru had fewer flamingos than usual, but the variety of ducks, storks, pelicans, herons, and ibis was far greater than in any previous years. At Baringo, the lake had risen more than 25 feet vertically and totally flooded the lodge; however, a stay at nearby Bogoria proved very successful, and with the help of our expert local guides we had a wonderful day finding such special birds as Verreaux's Eagle, Three-banded Courser, African Scops-Owl, Northern White-faced Owl, Grayish Eagle-Owl, Jackson's and Hemprich's hornbills, Somali Tit, Bristle-crowned Starling, Beautiful Sunbird, and Northern Masked-Weaver.
We then spent a week following a circuit through western Kenya, including visits to Kongelai Escarpment and Saiwa Swamp (two areas rarely visited by any other birding groups). Highlights are far too many to mention here, but included such localized birds as Rock Pratincole, Blue-headed Bee-eater, and Heuglin's Masked-Weaver, a close Crowned Hawk-Eagle at a nest, flocks of Black-and-white-casqued Hornbills, a huge variety of olive, greenish, and brownish greenbuls, skulking Mountain Illadopsis and Equatorial Akalat, and just gorgeous Great Blue Turaco, African Emerald Cuckoo, Yellow-billed Barbet, Jameson's Wattle-eye, Black-fronted Bushshrike, Black-faced Rufous-Warbler, Snowy-crowned Robin-Chat, and Red-chested Sunbirds..
We then spent a night back in Nairobi before flying to Masai Mara and a two-night stay at one of the most famous tented camps there -- Kichwa Tembo. As always it was a major highlight of the tour with Lion, Leopard, and Cheetah all seen, plus stately giraffes walking the plains, hippos in the river, and many herds of Elephant, Buffalo, Burchell's Zebra, Topi, Impala, Thomson's Gazelle, and Wildebeest. Birds were great, too, with Ostrich, five species of storks, seventeen different raptors (including the rare Ovampo Sparrowhawk), Greater Painted-snipe, Ross's Turaco, Southern Ground-Hornbill, Rufous-necked Wryneck, Moustached Grass-Warbler, and Yellow-billed Oxpecker.
On the final part of our tour we headed south-east towards the coast -- but first spent a couple of nights in Tsavo East giving us more exciting encounters with big game -- including a Lion (which had just killed a young Buffalo), several hundred Elephant, and a naughty Yellow Baboon which managed to get in to one of our rooms! But it was the birds that were the main attraction, and our day in the Taita Hills couldn't have been better, with excellent looks at some of Kenya's rarest and most localized birds -- Taita Thrush, 'Taita' Apalis, and 'Taita' White-eye were all seen well.
We finished the tour at Hemingways on the coast, where the nearby Sokoke Forest, Mida Creek, and the Sabaki River estuary all provided more great birding. For many the highlights were an orange morph of the rare Sokoke Scops-Owl, Crab Plover, and a fabulous close pair of Fischer's Turacos. But the numerous other shorebirds at Mida Creek, Northern Carmine Bee-eaters near Malindi, and then, within Sokoke Forest itself, Crested Guineafowl, Trumpeter Hornbill, Short-tailed Batis, Retz's and Chestnut-fronted helmetshrikes, Yellow Flycatcher, Red-tailed Ant-Thrush, Plain-backed and Amani sunbirds, and Peter's Twinspot will all be long in our minds -- but so will be Mangrove Kingfisher, which we tried so hard to find, and then, when we'd almost given up, found one perched on a roadside wire as we headed to Mombasa airport!
